Additional Information
If you’re in Quebec City on December 11th, there are still tickets available for this very special Christmas program curated by Bernard Labadie. It’s a series of Baroque Christmas concertos, some rustic, others naive, and still others spiritual. These works were originally recorded in 1993 on the album Simphonies des Noëls, which enjoyed considerable success internationally, hence its re-release. Baroque and pre-Baroque works by Charpentier, Torelli, Corrette, Pez, and Corelli will be performed to warm hearts and evoke memories of Christmases past. Laurent Patenaude, Director of Artistic Administration at Les Violons du Roy, explains this exceptional program.
